Behind Closed Doors

WILLA

Rules are meant to broken.

Plans are supposed to change.

I knew the rules—knew them like the back of my hand. First one, never fantasize about a co-worker—or worse take him to bed. The other one, never believe you can change a man. Like ever.

And guess what?

Broke 'em. Destroyed 'em.

Damn near shattered those pesky little rules.

How was I supposed to know that Ryan Donahue was going to walk into my life as my roommate and co-worker, and rock my ever-loving world?

And now, our jobs are on the line.

My heart hangs in the balance.

I couldn't just stick to the one single summer of sunsets.

I had to fall for the one man that I knew wouldn't stay,

And I finally know why those rules were put into place.

RYAN

I had a plan.

A strategically orchestrated plan.

It was supposed to be one summer, a favor for a friend. And escape my family's overzealous expectations. Then, I was out—on my way to the life I'd planned.

What I didn't count on was the petite, yet adorable,

roommate, with a pair of green eyes that knocked me off my feet.

One look, and I was doomed.

But then, her name, Willa Bloom, that sent me over the edge.

I was lost in thought.

"Willa-she-be-good-in-bed?"

"Willa-she-like-a-one-night-stand?"

I couldn't concentrate, couldn't focus.

I wanted her—had to have her.

And now my plans,

Those well thought-out, perfectly polished plans?

Completely gone, vanished, disintegrated.

But I'm not going to let that happen,

Not to us
